Ahoy and welcome aboard! Join Meet Market Adventures and other single sailors as we learn the basics of sailing on the 75-foot Schooner "North Wind."

Before leaving the dock the captain will separate us into smaller groups so we can better experience the Intro to Sailing and also learn the basic history of the North Wind and pilot schooners.

In small groups, we will have an opportunity to travel to each station and learn more about that aspect of sailing. The stations include:

Helm Station, talk to the captain about basic river navigation and experience the thrill of being at the helm of the North Wind.

Sails Station, talk about the elements of lift and learn the basic principles of sailing, help raise the sails, learn how to secure the lines

Man over Board drill, everyone takes their positions and work together as a team to practice what to do in an emergency aboard a sailing vessel (just so you know, we do this using a life preserver and not a real person!).

There will also be a second captain onboard dedicated to answering any questions you may have regarding sailing or what was learned!

Also, a portion of the cost will be donated to Philadelphia City Sail, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit educational organization that inspires Philadelphia area youth to value themselves and their education, with a focus on reaching underserved populations.

*** The North Wind is docked on the landing behind the Independence Seaport Museum near the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia on South Columbus Blvd at Walnut Street. Parking is available at Penn’s Landing.

*** Please note this is a rain or shine event ***
